The Dahl House GIVEAWAY!

A few months ago, The Dahl House was kind enough to send me a custom picture frame! It's is the cutest thing, and they were sweet enough to add in a pink and green elephant!

The twin and I in Beijing!

To celebrate 400 followers, The Dahl House is graciously giving one lucky YSP reader a 4x6 picture frame, with the option to add your name or monogram! 


Good luck!

Looks For Less: Bubble Necklace Love!

I know everyone has been obsessive over the J. Crew Bubble Necklace this summer, and I am no different! 

Sadly, the only thing I can't justify about it is the $150 price tag! I love jewelry, but I honestly can't see myself spending that much money on a necklace when I could be buying a Lilly!

Thankfully, many alternatives have popped up!



Which one do you think is the real J. Crew? The one that isn't is offering them for $19 with an EXTRA discount code of 'SummerFun'!

Do you rock the bubble necklace?

Summer, Kind Of Crazy

Hello again y'all!

I feel like I have been such an awful blogger this summer! Honestly, I've been suffering hard core from writers block! I have so much to catch y'all up on from the end of Junior Year, to camp, to my week in Georgetown for Operation Smile, to all the crafts I've been doing, to my getting ready for Senior Year!
In true Royar fashion, I've spent exactly fourteen nights at home this summer. Fourteen y'all. Fourteen days I've spent in my house, my city, driving around where I live. A part of me is completely okay with it, because my city has never truly felt like home to me. I love Virginia, don't get me wrong, but I've spent a lot more time away from home than normal teenagers.  But another part of me realizes that in less than a year, I'll be starting college, and I'll never live at home for an extended period of time again. 

My senior year is fast approaching, aka cross-country starts next Monday, something which I've barely prepared for.  I've also read approximately 1/6th of 1 of the 6 books I have to read for summer reading. I'm clearly chomping at the bit for school to start, right?

I've already applied to one college, and hopefully will have some good news come the end of August right as I head back.  I also have senior pictures next week. Crazy, right? I've been working really hard to tan out my lifeguard suit strap marks since we just do a formal drape pose. 

I wish I could say my life is way more exciting than tanning, scheduling appointments, and reading books, but it's really all I've been up to this week. Other to-dos involve consigning some clothes, volunteering at a race I'm unable to run in (boo-hiss foot injuries!), and writing college essays!

What are you up to this week?

Thought For The Week

I just love this!

In other news, I'm off to Richmond for the day, then I'm off to D.C. for the week for ISLC for Operation Smile! I wish I could go back to China, like I did for last year's conference, but I'm also very excited that I'm a bit closer to home! 

Have a great week, y'all!

YSP Playlist #5

I've been listening to Kenny Chesney non-stop since I've gotten home from camp.  His songs are perfect for summer, as well as growing up and leaving high school. Here are my favorite songs!



What are your favorite Kenny songs?

Howdy, y'all! Come on in!


Hi y'all!

I've gotten some new followers in the past few months, so I thought I would introduce myself!

My name is Royar, obvs, and I'll be a senior at a small school in Virginia this fall.  It will be my ninth year at my school, and I'll be very sad to bid adieu next June.  I am so excited to go to college, and my dream school is the University of Georgia! 

I absolutely love my summer job as a camp counselor, and this summer I worked at the pool! I absolutely loved teaching swim classes and guarding our camp's waterfront. 

Reading, running, shopping, and traveling are my favorite hobbies, as well as blogging of course! Pinterest is my addiction, as well as a good chai tea from Starbucks!

I would love to talk to y'all and get to know all my sweet followers! Email me at youngsouthernprep@gmail.com, tweet me @hLr2013, or follow me on tumblr at youngsouthernprep!

Happy Wednesday!

xoxo,

Royar
